The Ashes We Make

Sorry folks, no chapter here, but don't go yet, please.

Here's some music to make you feel better.

It's been 2~3 weeks since I last updated, and there's a few reasons for that:

-Last week was Midterms, pretty self-explanatory

-Here's the big one. I am getting frustrated with this story. It looks good, but from my side of it, it's a jumbled mess. I started this story with a good idea and a heart full of motivation. It started quickly, and slowed down, and now I'm looking at the latest version of chapter 4 that I still don't like. What's the problem? The storyline. There is none. I wrote this story trying to emulate how people might actually react in this situation, but the story is almost completely about the humans. The way ch.4 is going, the humans think equestria is insane, and are circling the wagons like crazy. Cue massive explosion. replace the ponies with "generic peaceful space species" and it doesn't change at all. I'm probably going to take this story down over the weekend so the people tracking don't just suddenly see it gone. Basically, I'm writing good chapters, but as is, this story isn't working out in the long run. I really should have made a one-shot or something small for  a first run.

-And the lastly, I've come up with a different story idea. I like it, partly because it's a lot more episodic than this one. And I think it'll be easier/more fun to write. I may come back to this story in the future, but if I do, it will be as an extensive rewrite.

Sorry, Folks
